Concealed Carry
Carrying the Kimber Micro 9 concealed is easy thanks to its slim profile and overall compact design.

Inside-the-waistband options provide deep concealment. An Kimber Micro 9 IWB holster hugs the body for discreet carry under most clothing. Choose one with a sweat guard and adjustable retention to enhance comfort and control.
OWB Holsters
Outside-the-waistband models are ideal for range days or open carry. A well-designed Kimber Micro 9 holster OWB rides close to the body to reduce printing. Look for options with paddle or belt loop mounts for secure positioning.

Cross Draw Holsters

After years of buying Holsters that I didn't like i finally found the one I love! Very good quality and comfortable. Holds tight to my body which is great as a skinny guy. Will be recommending to friends.
Robert B.
Save your money, this holster was for a Kimber Micro 9, does it fit the pistol, almost but........the rear sight leading edge base abuts up against the holster and there is no way, break in or not, the Kimber Micro 9 will fit in this holster, you can only get it in so far before the leading edge of the base of the rear sight stops it from seating any further and that makes using the snaps for the retaining straps impossible to secure the weapon as there is to large of a distance between the male and female snap to seat. Had the maker reversed the direction of the snap on the hip side of the holster then the leather retaining strap snap could be closed and thus secure the pistol. This was a lot of money spent to once again learn that quality control, or lack of it, provided a way to relive the buyer of his money. I'm sure the maker has good products but when it comes to a holster for your Kimber Micro 9, this holster is not the one you want to buy.

My husband bought this for me for Christmas but when I put my gun in, it didn’t fit so I read how you get it to fit and I’m currently waiting for some type of alcohol and you have to soak the inside really good and place your gun in a plastic bag and put it in your holster for 24 hours or longer then it should fit.
